Three Steps to Become Adobe Certified

An Adobe certification shows your expertise in helping clients realize value in an Adobe solution. The more hands-on work experience you have, and the more training you complete, the better your chances of passing. Check out the steps to get certified and earn your badge!

Certification exam guides recommend the skills you need to have, so that you know when you are ready to take the Adobe certified exam. You are not required to complete training before taking an exam; however, training can increase your skills and knowledge.

Review the exam guide regularly to ensure that you’re on track to pass your certification exam. Exam guides contain:

• Exam topics and question distribution: understand the key skills and percentage of questions per subject area
• Online sample tests and readiness questionaires to gauge your knowledge (not yet available for all exams) 
• The recommended job experience, knowledge, skills, and abilities required to pass the exam
• Costs, how to register, the number of questions, time limit, and passing score

Adobe Certification renewal exams: a faster option at a lower cost

If you’re already certified and ready to renew a certification, we now offer certification renewal exams for many applications.

• Recertification exams have fewer questions, are lower-cost, and designed to test your knowledge on newer application capabilities
• When you pass, your certification is renewed for two years
• You must take the renewal exam before your certification expires. If it expires, then you must take the regular exam to renew.
